Introduction: The Sacred Pearl - June's Oceanic Treasure
Pearl, the lustrous organic gemstone of June, has been revered for millennia as a symbol of purity, wisdom, and divine feminine energy. Unlike other gemstones formed in the earth, pearls are born from the sea, created by living mollusks in a miraculous process that transforms an irritant into a luminous treasure.
In Vedic astrology, Pearl (Moti) is the sacred gemstone for the Moon (Chandra), the celestial body governing emotions, intuition, mental peace, and maternal energy. Known as the 'Queen of Gems,' Pearl has adorned royalty from Cleopatra to Indian Maharanis, symbolizing purity, prosperity, and spiritual enlightenment.
At Venus Gems, we offer certified natural Pearls including rare Basra pearls and premium South Sea pearls, each carefully selected for its luster, shape, and astrological potency.
